Truth for Truth’s Sake

Todd Hayen

I’ll tell you another pet peeve of mine—people who ask me why it is important to know the truth if I can’t do anything about it.

I find it strange that people do not seek truth for truth’s sake.

Sure, there are times when you really do not need to know the truth about something. How much time would you spend, and how important would it be to you, to know which dog tore up your newspaper when you have more than one dog? (Newspaper? How old am I?) Or if your mom and dad really did conceive you out of wedlock? Or if Grandpa wears briefs or boxers?

I am also not a fan of knowing things about my body from a health perspective if the only course of action would be to pump toxic chemicals into it with a 2% chance of a cure. A close female friend of mine recently let me know she was doing some new-fangled medical DNA test to determine if she has the markers for eventual Alzheimer’s.

Really?

Why would anyone want to know that? You hear all of the time about tests on the market designed to determine if you have the propensity for this or that. How accurate could any of this stuff be? Let’s say you owned a company that had created a pill or procedure that would prevent this or that disease. And then, you made a test that would tell a person if they had the “propensity” to develop that disease.

What a perfect setup that would be, eh?

Wow, imagine that. And none of it even needs to be true! The pill, the test, nope, not a single aspect of it. You and your company would make a fortune. Well, that isn’t really knowing truth for truth’s sake, is it? Nope, that there is what you call a scam. (Hmmm.)

Who knows. I’m not saying it is all a scam. But forget it, I don’t want to be told I have “markers” for Alzheimer’s. You can be sure if I am told that, and the chances would be 20% I would develop Alzheimer’s, then I would sure as hell get it. Where if I had not been told, I would be in the 80 percentile and would not get it. Power of the mind and all that. I certainly believe in such things when it comes to my body’s health.

There are also less important things that you can just leave up to mystery. But things that are important to the world, and to your own community, and your own sense of right and wrong. Those things you want to know, just for the sake of knowing. Some of these things you might be able to do something about, some of them you might not.

Sure, there are private things (like the examples I gave earlier) where insisting on knowing is tantamount to gossip. It is strange that so many people think if we want to know, say, if Fauci is lying about sand flea experiments on puppies, it is an invasion of privacy, “Leave the poor guy alone,” they may moan. “You don’t have to know everything about him.” There really is no personal privacy for authority figures acting out their official duties. If Fauci was having lurid sexual encounters with woodchucks, then maybe we don’t need to know that. But any experiments he may or may not have executed in the course of his profession is information that affects us, and we should know it.

“Why are you always looking for dark stuff?” That’s another one I get all of the time. It seems these people think if the dark stuff is kept hidden it won’t have any negative impact. It is sort of like letting sleeping dogs lie, or if a snake is under a rock, there is no point in disturbing the rock. Yeah, sure, leave a sleeping dog asleep, or a hiding snake hidden. These “dark things” I look for are not benign, they are actively being dark. The snake under the rock isn’t dangerous until you lift the rock, the dog isn’t dangerous until it is awake. The things I “look for” are things that are dangerous whether they are exposed or not—actually they are more dangerous when they are hidden because no one does anything about them while they are hidden. Do I really have to explain this? (Not to you, dear reader, I know that.)

And besides, who’s looking? No one really needs to “look”—all they need to do is refrain from shutting their eyes. All that is dark that is happening in our world now is plainly in view. The details may be hidden—a little bit—but the thing that is supposed to elicit curiosity is so obvious you would have to be blind not to outright trip over it. But when I do trip and then lift the sheet covering the protruding object I tripped over, I am accused of “looking for the dark stuff.”

I have been a student of New Thought for most of my adult life. This “theory of life” says you create your own reality with your thought. It does not say to ignore what that physical reality brings to you to see and contemplate. It simply says there is nothing to fear about the truth. And the truth, in the material realm, is “truth” with a small “t.” The real Truth, with a capital “T,” is unthreatening. It is love, the spark of life, and spirit. The material world is a game, and if you ignore the game pieces and what they are doing, you are ignoring your lesson and what you need to learn in this “illusory” game of material life. Then there is no point in it, no meaning.

To be in this game and essentially ignore it (ignore the truth) is the ultimate denial. This whole idea of rejecting truth is a ruse. It is an excuse for remaining blind. Anyone who claims truth is not worth looking for or berates someone for looking, or for even finding it, doesn’t have a clue. Sure, there are times, as mentioned before, when we do not have to go digging for a fact that really can remain hidden.

Sometimes, it is indeed an invasion of privacy; sometimes, the adage “what you don’t know can’t hurt you” is appropriate. And there are times when finding what the system purports to be the truth (but is really a speculation) is a mistake and not useful or beneficial.

But these examples are, for the most part, rare.

They certainly are rare in this context—in this world where knowing the truth could very well save your life or, more importantly, save the whole of humanity. Even though it is a material game we are engaged in, that game has meaning to our spiritual selves. We have chosen to participate in it, and thus, we are expected to play it effectively, passionately, and truthfully.

No need to complicate things. The more you dig into the brain, the more trapped you are in this sim. Think with your heart. Think with your heart? Da’ hell?

Thinking with the heart is inner intuition. Natural thought that arises without influence of anything else but from within. Use both your heart and brain in unison, and you will see the world for what it is: A dramatic louche-farm shit-show. Don’t take anything so damn seriously. Going bankrupt? Live the moment, not the future. Are you hungry at the moment? Are you in pain? Is there a starving lion in front if you? Focus on the present and do what your heart feels is the right thing to do. Live the present. Don’t stress the future.

We are infinite. The goal of this simulation is to realize who we truly are. Communicate with the heart as your daily norm. Nothing else is necessary becaise the heart is the gateway to different consciousness. You don’t have to try. Just do it. Feel it.

There is one undeniable truth, “I exist.” To deny it is to prove it. Beyond that, the world may be a simulation, a matrix-like game, or a dream. Each night in our dreams we are met with a real world with its own rules and consistencies. Only in the morning is it seen as unreal.

If existence is true, it must be always true. Non-existence cannot happen to our soul when our body dies because non-existence is not a possibility by virtue of not even existing.

If we exist and always will, then nothing can be harmed, and it is hard to say evil exists. I could say good and evil happened in my dream last night but few would agree that the events in last night’s dream were truly evil. For one reason no one was harmed or ever could be. It was just a dream.

If I am right and we exist eternally and cannot be harmed you have nothing to worry about. Even your bodily death is nothing to worry about because your soul cannot be harmed. This does not mean there are no apparent consequences for actions. Just that we’ll all be all right… always. It’s good news.

Yes but denial in concept is acted out and be-lived as self-imaged substitution for reality, of attack made real in the split mind of victim and judge.

Existence Is ;
The ‘I’ of unqualified love, radiance or extension and embrace of All That Is – is not the ‘I’ derived from giving less than wholeness, as a mind set in specific and thus exclusive focus.
What we give is the measure of our receiving, but a mind in judgement does not know the act of which a segregative self-awareness arose from a split minding or attention.

The mind’s belief it can deny, eradicate or kill – and has done so – runs the basis for guilt-framed fear. And the attempt to get rid of guilt (project) to the ‘othered’ compounds sin as the lie of a life raised on the death of God (Wholeness that Is in All That Is), by attack as basis for a private or masked separate ‘existence’ – within the frame of ‘agreement or alignment’ of lack-driven ‘getting’ as overriding ‘survival’ in our own terms and conditions.

At mind level we can and do frighten and hurt our self. What we think or accept into our minds as worth, truth or value can extend and share in life, or can rule, filter and block awareness of life to a ‘split off’ concept-bound self-specialness.

Attack as judgement depends on identification with bodies as a masking distance, and as a weapon or means to act out ‘false conflict solutions’ on the other. That such identification in conflict can be ‘normalised’ to screen out Awareness of Existence is the ‘gain of function’ assigned to possessive control, as the ‘only life you have and are’ set against damnation by exposure and undoing in truth as ‘attack’ or vengeance in utter humiliation – a hell of Self-hate without limit.

Truth never attacks illusion. There is NO communication between truth and illusion, but to choose one is to let the other go – while we still hold both as desirable and attainable, such as to co-fuse and alloy of love and fear in which our capacity to recognize reality from lies is lost to a ‘mind-habit’ of defended identity set over and against (its own) wholeness.

Running on a false inheritance is a ‘derivative identity’ or belief thief.
That which identifies All Things truly is uncoercive and unconflicted or whole in self-extension – not segregative in self-contractive recoil from life.
Both of these ‘movements’ are within us, and the use of the mind for attack/judgement can be repurposed to serve healing; reintegration to wholeness.

For only truth knows giving and receiving as one.
To not know or sleep in your own thought can allow gain of fiction to run as claim of function. True function is an inherence or integrality of being – even as you are – in the moment at hand. There are no substitutes for love (wholeness of being) no matter how intensely driven the a-tempt.

Forget worrying about the elite or tptb or big business or the media or whatever other powerful body that might be out there ruining your life and controlling you. Have you ever tried talking to the average man? The average man will run rings around any truth you think you might have. You’ll be utterly dismantled by any old shlobb out there. You’ll be belittled, embarrassed and left floundering. The garden variety peasant out there will defeat you and crush you and put you in your place without even trying.

The dream is over, the fat years are gone. The Jews in the centers of power have run the West into the ground with their war-mongering geopolitics, the opening of the flood gates to the whole world and their financial monopoly system, thereby triggering the rise of China. Now draconian, protectionist measures such as tariff mania are to be used to counteract this, because otherwise the host nations will once again blow up in their faces and identify them as the real culprits and backers.

Die Ritter vom Gelde (1891) by Karl Türk centers on a secretive financial network referred to as the “Knights of Money,” portrayed in the narrative as a cohesive group of Jewish financiers. The novel depicts these individuals as operating across national borders, using their collective economic influence to shape markets, governments, and societal institutions. Their methods include extending high-interest loans, orchestrating speculative ventures, and leveraging debts to gain control over key assets. The story follows their interactions with both willing collaborators and reluctant figures across society, illustrating their ability to manipulate economic and political outcomes.

The narrative emphasizes the group’s anonymity and cohesion, with members acting through intermediaries to maintain secrecy. Jewish identity is presented as a unifying factor among the “Knights,” who are described as prioritizing financial gain and collective power over personal or national loyalties. The plot explores how their economic strategies impact other characters, including non-Jewish businessmen, politicians, and ordinary citizens, many of whom face ruin after entering agreements with the group. Moral dilemmas arise as individuals weigh short-term profit against long-term consequences, with loyalty and betrayal serving as recurring themes.

Set in the late 19th century, the novel contrasts traditional economic practices with modern financial systems, framing the “Knights” as catalysts for industrialization’s disruptive effects. Scenes alternate between opulent urban financial districts and struggling rural communities, highlighting disparities exacerbated by the group’s activities. The prose employs melodramatic dialogue and moralistic contrasts, often juxtaposing “honest labor” with the perceived ruthlessness of speculative finance.

Through its portrayal of the “Knights,” the novel engages with contemporary anxieties about globalization, capitalism, and social change. The Jewish identity of the group is integral to the plot, as their shared cultural and religious background is presented as a foundation for their collective actions. The story does not explicitly analyze or critique these portrayals but instead uses them to drive its exploration of power, ambition, and economic transformation.

Karl Türk (1840-1908) was an Austrian politician and author prominent in late 19th-century Austria. Born in Znaim, Moravia (now Znojmo, Czech Republic), Türk pursued a career in law, serving as a lawyer and notary in Lower Austria. He became actively involved in local and regional politics, advocating for German national interests within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Türk was a member of the Lower Austrian Landtag (state parliament) and later served as a representative in the Austrian Reichsrat (imperial parliament). He aligned himself with German nationalist parties and factions, focusing on issues related to language rights, education, and cultural autonomy for German-speaking populations within the empire. Türk was also a publicist, contributing articles and essays to newspapers and journals that promoted his political views. His writings often reflected German nationalistic sentiments and criticism of Austrian government policies.

In addition to his political activities, Türk authored several books and pamphlets, including the novel Die Ritter vom Gelde (The Knights of Money), which explored themes of financial power and its societal impact. His literary work often intertwined with his political agenda, reflecting his concerns about economic and social issues within the context of Austrian politics. Türk remained active in Austrian political life until his death in 1908, continuing to advocate for German national interests and contribute to public discourse through his writings and political activities.

Karl Helfferich’s Das Geld (The Money) examines the nature, functions, and historical evolution of monetary systems, focusing on currency stability and state authority. The 1923 sixth edition incorporates analysis of Germany’s post-WWI hyperinflation, emphasizing the relationship between money, state power, and economic crises. Helfferich grounds his theory in Georg Friedrich Knapp’s “state theory of money,” which posits that money derives its value from government decree rather than intrinsic material worth. He expands on Knapp’s concept of “chartal money” (state-issued legal tender) to explain how modern economies rely on state-backed currency for transactions and debt settlement.

The book traces the transition from commodity-based money (e.g., gold or silver) to abstract, state-controlled systems, arguing that trust in government institutions is essential for maintaining currency stability. Helfferich critiques speculative financial practices and advocates for anchoring money to tangible value standards, such as gold reserves, to prevent inflation. He analyzes wartime economies, including the financial strategies of nations during conflicts like the Russo-Japanese War, to illustrate how states manipulate currency under stress.

In the 1923 edition, Helfferich addresses Germany’s hyperinflation directly, linking it to excessive money printing, reparations burdens, and the erosion of public confidence in the Reichsmark. He underscores the societal consequences of currency collapse, such as the breakdown of trade and the rise of barter economies, while cautioning against conflating nominal and real economic values. The work serves as both a theoretical treatise and a policy-oriented critique, advocating for disciplined fiscal governance to restore monetary order.

Helfferich’s analysis remains rooted in the interplay between political authority and economic systems, framing money as a tool of statecraft that requires prudent management to ensure societal stability. The book’s later editions, including the 1923 version, reflect his engagement with contemporary debates on inflation, currency reform, and the role of central banks in crisis response.

Yea, Todd, you’re darn right about that witch doctor trick. Point that authoritative stick at someone and they will decline. It’s worked since the stone age.

The truth is that our genes (those heavily cited “markers” in mainstream medicine) are switched on or off in response to external cues. It’s called epigenetics. What you do to your body determines your level of health. To be fair, what your parents did to you while you were in utero and during early childhood, and even how they lived their lives (drugs, alcohol, poor diet, mega-stress, etc) also plays a role.

There was, for a while, a trendy movement, directed mostly at women to have their breasts removed just in case they developed breast cancer later in life when their genetic tests came up with the dreaded BRCA gene. Some celebrities were probably generously paid to declare their own amputation, and that all was just fine. So just go and do it too!

Manipulation and coercion by instilling fear is their game to ensure a steady flow of profits. Vaccines are paid for by the government but regular dental checks which could prevent heart disease (and cavities) are not. Revealing, if anyone would care to look.

Luckily, probably thanks to the Plandemic and to the ready access to information electronically, more and more people have been alerted to the ruse those in control have pulled off on humanity that has made us believe we are not free to make decision for ourselves. Facing the truth is the first step in that direction.

You set me on a journey today of thinking why I am obsessed with “having to know the truth”. From why I was so afraid and unattached to my parents, totally obedient when they were around. Spent most of my free time either in my room with books, science projects, or outside exploring the nearby woods and tidal pools of the Maine coast only a short bike ride away. FREEDOM!!!! My first degree was in psychology/sociology trying to figure it all out!!!
I am never at peace until I understand everything. I really don’t know anyone else like me, most are content to just live with total inconsistencies of life. It’s been an amazing adventure, down so many rabbit holes, but completely worth it. Thanks for the journey down memory lane, I have had a completely full life because i have always sought the truth!!!

Here is the truth:

Modern day slavery in plain sight.
Here is a list of just some of the taxes we pay.
Aggregates Levy

  1. Air Passenger Duty (APD)
  2. Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED)
  3. Apprenticeship Levy
  4. Bank Levy
  5. Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
  6. Carbon Price Support (CPS)
  7. Climate Change Agreement (CCA) Levy
  8. Corporation Tax
  9. Council Tax
  10. Customs Duty
  11. Digital Services Tax (DST)
  12. Diverted Profits Tax
  13. Employment-Related National Insurance Contributions (Class 1A and 1B NICs)
  14. Excise Duties (Fuel, Alcohol, and Tobacco)
  15. Financial Services Bank Surcharge
  16. Flat Rate Scheme VAT
  17. Gambling Duties (General Betting Duty, Pool Betting Duty, Remote Gaming Duty, Machine Games Duty)

With taxes it is made worse by the compounding effect.

Paying taxes on taxes. Earn some currency (money), pay income tax and National Insurance (N.I) on it, plus the employer paying N.I. Then buy some goods or services, most nearly everything, and pay VAT on that already once taxed income. Decide to save a bit of that taxed income instead and pay income tax or dividend tax on the interest or dividend received.

Eventually, when after being taxed for life until death, your estate gets hit by inheritance tax.

Inflation, is the most insidious tax. Even at 2 percent per annum, over 10 years or 50 years it would seriously eat away at your savings and therefore your purchasing power.

According to the Bank of England, if you had £10,000 in 1975, using their inflation calculator, you would need £76,000 today just to be standing still. That ignores property price inflation, with which £10,000 in 1975 was enough to buy a modest house or a big one in a run-down (now gentrified) area of London, whereas, today £76,000 may buy you a garage.

By now it should be obvious that the Holy Grail of the pharma business isn’t in curing disease, its in managing it. So a pill that knocks a cancer flat — a promising discovery that was recently announced — is really a bit of a disaster since even if retailed at some fantastic cost a cure is a cure and your customer is no longer in need of your product. That’s why conditions like diabetes is so wonderful — not just a customer, a de-facto addict! Alzheimer’s is another good one, in fact much better than diabetes, because the financial impact on families is both devastating and predictable which makes the disease terrifying. (To explain…. The condition doesn’t really affect the person suffering from it that much because they’re generally unaware of what’s happening around them. It devastates care givers because it gradually renders the sufferer infantile with people eventually having to care for a 150lb infant that can pack quite a punch if provoked. Specialist care is available, its actually a booming business around here, but it starts in the $7000 per month range….and goes up.) This threat means there’s quite a business in early detection and prevention and slowing down its progression once diagnosed. The potential is so vast that when an early ‘slow down’ pill (of dubious efficacy, as it turned out) came on the market a few years ago its costs were projected to be so high that fully one third of a substantial Medicare premium increase for the next year was earmarked to pay for it. So anyone coming up with a low cost prevention or cure for this problem is going to face ‘headwinds’ (!).

Regarding Alzheimer’s: the only marker we need to determine if we’re in danger of getting it is…lungs. Are we still breathing? Then we’re in danger of getting Alzheimer’s – because of the constant geoengineering spraying, very heavy on aluminum, and aluminum has for a long time been a suspected causative agent for Alzheimer’s.

However, there are instances where knowing a possible marker really is valuable. In my mother’s family, cardiovascular disease is rampant – no DNA test need to know that. My grandmother died of a stroke, my grandfather of a heart attack; and of 8 siblings, all but one died of either a stroke or a heart attack (and the one who didn’t had MS, which back then was a virtual death sentence). And that’s something a person can do something about. Almost all my mother’s family enjoyed a “Southern” diet – except her. And she lived to be the oldest, though she too ended up with a stroke.

Ah, sleeping dogs. There is an aphorism (don’t remember who made it) that says “A barking dog is more valuable than a sleeping lion.” And, definitely, you always want to let sleeping lions sleep!

One of our greatest philosophers Soren Kierkegaard’s claim against Natural Science: “…and now for the devil’s sake in the arse with the microscope. Who can stand it?”.

This truth sings to me! What truth has been replaced with is personal exposure of every bit of information that is no business of anyone else’s: the sexuality of consenting adults – not my business / if a child wants to be a fictional character, an animal or the opposite gender – not my business. Too much exposure and not enough truth is what we’re all being bombarded with. On another note, the point you made about a test that doesn’t work for an illness that doesn’t exist and how lucrative that would be – well we all know when that happened. But another example that suddenly came to mind was when a scam company was given the contract for bomb detectors that never worked and they carried on providing them for many years till one day there was a bomb and the scam was exposed. A great business model or an example of when truth matters? Throughout my life such stories have come and gone and the need for accountability of governments responsible for scams of all kinds never emerges. They sail on to their next scam and we all shrug it off. Dido Harding’s £37 billion covid ‘test and trace’ scam? Who cares?

I believe that the £37 billion test and trace lark, one of the biggest robberies of UK public funds in history, was at least partially ‘invested’ in the digital ID infrastructure coming soon.

The fact that the public seem not to care where that huge amount disappeared to is a sign of the times.

Enough to build and kit out around 70 brand new medium-sized hospitals.
